1 LH3 EXAGGERATOR a l E ditio n d a Sp ec i Golcon Are The Front runners nearly back Boong I am Dry Warning - This Publication may contains some TRUTH I Hope so it is 3:30. Bloody Bugsy and his marathons

2 Where the fuck is Golconda??? the Launceston Hashers have been saying for six months, not even Google Earth has heard of it. Hash Pash keeps saying all will be revealed on Saturday the 17th February Cryptic maps have been appearing and disappearing on the Hash trailer since August., Mr Sheen has been heard to say he thinks it is out past Lilydale. Well Saturday the 17th has finally arrived, it has been reported that Hash Pash was seen on Friday heading out the Northern Outlet before dawn towing a trailer loaded to the gunnels with firepots, Cmax theatre equipment speakers and direction signs. The Telstra mobile network is overloaded with text messages as the convoy of hashers are heading out the Northern Outlet towards Lilydale searching for Golconda. Mr Sheen was right Golconda is out past Lilydale, by the time the convoy starts to trickle in Mr Sheen has arrived and set up his camp trailer in a prime site next to the lake. With about half of the Hashers onsite Bugsy and Hash Pash set off to mark the trail, the only concern is that Blakey has not arrived with the beer trailer. Pull Down hard on the wheel now rainbow and watch the tree overhang. Shit Rainbow Down not up Bugsy and Hash Pash return from setting the run an hour later and there is still no sign of Blakey but everyone else except Rainbow has arrived and set up camp. One Hump the truck driver is on the Mobile phone giving Rainbow instruction on driving to the campsite as he has some concern that the Rainbow will not be able to navigate the Winnebago down the narrow road. Rainbow finally berths the Winnebago next to Scary and Tyles in the elite section of the camp site but still no sign of Blakey, even Hash Pash is getting a bit nervous. The Hashers are wondering around in awe and lost words with the venue, no wonder Golconda is not on Google Earth, If Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) and the Islam s of the world hear about Golconda it will be the end of Mecca, and the Hajj would be transferred to Golconda. One of the veteran hashers was heard to say this would have to be the best campsite LH3 have ever been to. Two o clock has arrived and the Hashers are mustered to the starting line as the run is about to get underway, Tyles is heard to say I did not bring my running gear or the Hash Horn I did not know it was an official run, before anyone could comment Tagg calls out Blakey has arrived with the beer trailer. Blakey retorts get the run underway the beer will be ready when the front runners return, Scarey races to his campervan and returns with two large blocks of ice for the Thirst Aid Kit and the run is underway.

3 Run Report As the temperature is above 30 degrees C a short trail of approximately 6Km was set starting around the lake as a late comers loop. The trail then headed west for about 1.5Km crossed the bridge over the Golconda creek then headed through the scrub onto the Lone Star Rd,past the Old Loggers Hut into the pine plantation. The trail then wound up the plantation hill for about 800 meters to a cunning false trail which then bunched the hashers up back at the Old Loggers Hut. The front runners quickly found the trail heading further west on the Lone Star Rd leading deeper into the pine plantation. The On Home was finally found by Mr Sheen and One Hump, as it was an out and back course the back runners followed Mr sheen and One Hump back to the campsite bringing most of the Hashers back within a few minutes of each other. Blakey true to his word had the barrel ready to pour as the front runners returned.

4 ON ON With the run out of the way, perfect Northern Tasmanian weather and cold beer flowing it was time to get serious about relaxing, having a good time and enjoying the venue. Scary was the first to dive into the lake to take advantage of the refreshing spring water. Several other hashers decided they would parade around topless hoping to entice the unmentionable visitors to do the same. This lead to their disappointment as no one other than One Hump responded. The next couple of hours quickly passed while the hashers consumed copious amounts of alcohol sitting around in the Cmax theatre listening to Hash Pash s selection of music and talking plenty of crap. Mr E and Chewy arrived late in the afternoon after finishing work helping Lara Giddings keep the Tasmanian economy growing. A couple of the unmentionables who have consumed a few bottles of wine call upon Hash Pash where is the PORTALOO?? It is time to go. Hash Pash has to admit finances were tight we had to resort to a LONG DROP!! It is in the brown shed. With the barbecue tea out of the way, the firepot percolating, the Long Drop humming and the light fading Hash Pash had the Cmax theatre projectors rolling with band classics such as the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. The music continued until about 1:30am, as the keg had run dry at about 1:15am most of the revellers pulled up stumps and retired to their swags. I am making the most of this sun, I have been underground for three months
